Canadian Skin Cancer Foundation is a charitable organization based in Edmonton, Alberta, classified by the CRA under core health care. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $59K in revenue and $78K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 89% from other charities. In 2024, 9 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $78K.
Compared with 213 health institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 38% of peers. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 1 permanent full-time position.
Revenue has declined over its filings on record here, from $186K in 2020 to $59K in 2024. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 9 names.
